The life of a druid?

[Leokaiser]

Don't use roots unless you have a significant level advantage or the mob has weak MR, way too unreliable for the mana cost. Immolate pretty much sucks, both due to it's mana efficiancy (2 damage per mana compared to Flame Lick's 3) and the amount of resists you will get even on weak blues.

I was pretty underwhelmed by the druid solo playstyle as I leveled up to 30. Mana efficiancy is not what I had hoped for, root is useless at times and snare/med kiting is such a chore. Quadding at 34 makes up for this however; there aren't many great spots for it in the Old World, but when Kunark opens, say hello to a world of rapid exp.
